Overview
- Suspicious movement was detected around 4:15 a.m. near the Turkandi/Tarkundi forward area along the Line of Control.
- Troops opened fire to block a crossing after surveillance picked up movement in the Bhimber Gali area.
- The Army’s White Knight Corps said credible intelligence and persistent monitoring enabled a swift response that prevented any breach.
- Reinforcements were deployed as a large-scale clearance operation began, supported by integrated ground and aerial surveillance with a heightened alert across the sector.
- Officials said it remains unclear whether any suspected infiltrator was hit, and this follows a Feb. 19–20 foiled bid in the Sunderbani sector where arms and ammunition were seized.
